I am enrolled in St. Leo's Accounting program. I have found the staff supportive beyond the wildest dreams. The course work is challenging, but I am able to choose when and where I can study. The program is semester hours and not quarter hours, so compare apples to apples and not apples to oranges. Anytime you are in an institution that has 17,000 plus students there is bound to me a hiccup or two. At least it's not 50,000 or 60,000 like U of F or Florida State. I have had a hiccup getting a few things initiated and resolved, but I am in charge of my destiny and make sure that I follow-up just like anything else in life. If you need hand holding or the physical brick and mortars than perhaps no on-line school is for you. They have a good reputation and they are one of the 5 largest Catholic Universities in the World. My experience has been pleasant thus far. I know I will be challenged and I am up for it. Go for it! St. Leo is awesome

My husband and I have both attended St. Leo. Not once have they gotten anything right when it comes to financial aid. Every term we have to get on the phone with them and try to figure out what is going on. Twice they have switched my adviser without warning so I had no idea who to contact for assistance. They promoted a staff member that completely dropped the ball on getting my paperwork submitted in time. I have had teachers that were not really there to help. It felt more like I had a baby sitter than a teacher.

The school requires you to get your refund on a Higher One card. This card charges you outrageous fees just to use your money. The only way around that is to transfer you money to a checking or savings account, but in doing that you have to wait longer to get your money. Everything about this school has been a complete ripoff. I very much want to finish my degree and will be doing so elsewhere.

Instructors are rude, unhelpful, and show up after the course work has been submitted, but if you need them before vSunday you are out of luck! STAY AWAY from this SCHOOL- They are against the students!

As alumni week approaches I was doing a search on Saint Leo University and came across this site. I am floored at some of the negative comments. I attended Saint Leo University Online for five years and earned my B.A. and M.B.A. in that time. I can only say great things about the online degree programs offered here. This is not to say that all things were smooth sailing, there were some wrinkles that needed to be ironed out. However, every person that I encountered at Saint Leo was willing to help and was kind while doing so. Assuming that you will have zero issues with any business is unreasonable and far-fetched.

Saint Leo University Online enabled me to earn my degree and a living for my kids. This program was amazing from start to finish. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to earn a college degree from a reputable institution.

Saint Leo University offers a wonderful online program. The flexibility of the online B.A. enables me to complete college without sacrificing my job or time with my family. Every department I have worked with has knowledgeable and friendly employees; they truly seem to portray the Core Values of Saint Leo.

The online website and classroom portal are user friendly, easy to navigate and convenient. The sites are always available for me to logon when it suits my schedule. However, that is not to say this is an easy program. I work hard in each class but the payoff is wonderful – one step closer to graduation!

I also enjoy the diverse group of people in each class. There are people from all over the world attending the online program. The different perspectives on business topics broaden the entire classes view on each subject. The professors are well-versed in their disciplines and share many real world experiences with the class. I enjoy knowing how the subject I am learning is applied in the workforce.

All in all my experience with Saint Leo University online has been extremely positive. I would recommend this school to anyone who is willing to listen.
